Sweet Hope Primary

I had a twitter conversation with Tacoma Chickadee the other day about Sweet Hope Truffles.? My Nashville Wraps catalog came and reminded me that it is time to start thinking about such things.

Noob update:

Every year I make truffles and sell them at Christmas.? We vote on the flavors I will make and the proceeds go to adoptive families.

This year I’m going to do things a little differently.? In honor of the election year you get to hold a primary.? You will leave a comment and cast a ballot for a flavor you would like to see as a Sweet Hope Truffle.? Unlike normal elections you will have the opportunity to vote more than once.? Leave a separate comment for each flavor and you may vote for a flavor that another person has proposed.? The top 8 flavors will make it into the final ballot and from there the top 6 will be made*.

You have until the end of this week to cast your ballot and the final voting will be the first week in November (election week).? Sweet Hope Truffles will go on sale November 10th and ship in time for Christmas.

*Although this may appear to be a democratic process please keep in mind that I will have to make the truffles and therefore will actually become a dictatorship if any chocolate involving meat or meat-like produce is proclaimed a winner.? You can try, but don’t think for a moment that I would willingly touch raw bacon.

I propose. Bacon Truffles…. Perhaps Trusty Husband, Fake Husband, and Chalk Husband (OK, so I self dubbed there) could do a celebrity chef appearance and handle the raw meat. I think with an appropriately dark chocolate (72% or so) and this could turn out real well.

Is this a Democrat primary? or a Republican primary? Because if it is a Democrat primary, I want to know who the super-delegates are so I can start lobbying them, as the actual ballots cast by the plebeians are merely for show.

And I think if Elle won’t make ’em, we just have stealth bacon truffle making at my house and raise stealth funds for Sweet Hope. 😉 Oh wait, did I type that? When I get back from Hawaii, I’m so experimenting. (With truffle making.)

Peppermint! Although the lavender and the lemon/raspberry sound tasty as well!

Here’s a local (for me) spot that has some interesting flavors: http://www.moderndwellers.com/truffles.html. No, I haven’t tried the anchovy or the salmon, but the others are good. Just thought I’d toss this one out there in case you wanted some unusual flavors.
